The object then will be to make our independence a blessing. To do this we must secure our union on solid foundations; an herculean task and to effect which mountains of prejudice must be leveled! It requires all the virtue and all the abilities of the Country. ... We know each others sentiments, our views are the same: we have fought side by side to make America free, let us hand in hand struggle to make her happy.~~Alexander Hamilton to John Laurens, August 15, 1782

Apologies to all of my friends and readers out there. I have hardly been writing a thing on these blogs, but I am well. The truth is, my blogs are MOVING! Or will be, very soon. Herculean Reflections will be moved from Blogger to Wordpress, but all of my other blogs (The Foundation Forum, Meet the Founding Fathers, Alexander Hamilton Patriot, and The Founder's Bookshelf) will go to their own domain. The Foundation Forum and Meet the Founders will also merge into one blog. So as I move databases, fix coding, etc., it is not worth it to write too much on these blogs.

So take heart -- my absence from Word for Wednesday and Founding Father's Quote Friday are only temporary!

Did I also mention I am in the process of writing at least two books, writing articles online, and doing countless other non-writing jobs?!?!? Yeah. So don't worry; Herky has not been taken down by the swine flu or the Swat team. As soon as his horizon clears up, he'll be kicking again!

If you want to read anything from Herky while these blogs drift from hibernation to dormancy, visit my page at Helium.com. I probably won't be adding things there regularly, but who knows when I might? :)

Good to see you are okay! I must confess I've been concerned and told GaGa I was going to email you. And that was last week! Therefore, I think I'm able to understand how busy we all can be at times.

Have your ears been itching? I've been praying for you daily. I must admit that I knew you were working on the books and having done that I know how time consuming they can be. So, you're off to WordPress - Great!

I know you'll be happy over there; primarily because there are far more options, a better staff and tech service, and I find it's just easier than Blogger. That's certainly not to say that I don't like Blogger, because I do! I just started on WP so it's second nature.

Jean, I hope those new domains will be up soon. It will probably be a while before they are in a completed state, as I need to keep working the bugs out ... while I am writing my books. And yes, I will keep you posted. :)
